  • Fig. 11 (A) when one controller controls a plurality of MACs and each of the plurality of MACs controls the transmission of a VLAN, a plurality of VLANs are generated. It is not necessary to transmit a multicast between broadcasts. However, since it is necessary to provide a plurality of MACs, the scale of the hardware becomes large and the cost becomes high.

Control to control the transmission of two VLANs, it is not possible to prevent multicast / broadcast transmission between multiple VLANs. Since a single control device that performs processing in the C layer can be used to control multiple VLANs, the size of the hardware is small and low-cost, and multicast performed between multiple VLANs is also possible. Transmission of broadcasts can be prevented.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une unité de désassemblage de trame (320) recevant une trame MAC en vue de réaliser une insertion/identification d'une adresse de destination et une étiquette. Une unité de recherche d'informations (322) recherche une base de données d'informations VLAN (330) afin de trouver une étiquette et un accès correspondant à l'adresse de destination. L'unité de détermination de type (324) détermine la trame MAC reçue est une trame à division unique, multidiffusion ou à diffusion à large bande. Une unité de commande de transmission à diffusion unique (328) commande un dispositif de commutation de manière à transmettre la trame MAC vers un noeud de communication de la destination. Une unité de commande de transmission multidiffusion (326) commande le dispositif de commutation de manière à fermer le VLAN et à transmettre la trame MAC par multidiffusion ou diffusion à large bande.
